Full Description & Details

My girlfriend Mary and I decided to leave Asheville, North Carolina where we were visiting my mother and three sisters ( my parents had divorced two years earlier. ) I was approximately 23 at the time and Mary was probaly 20. Initially upon leaving there we'd decided to spend a few days in Nagshead North Carolina but the horseflies were brutal on the beach so we decideded to drive to our usual vacation spot in either Rehobath Beach or Ocean City Maryland. Mary was driving when suddenly she said Michael look out the back window there is something folllowing us in the sky and I think it's a flying saucer. I thought she was kidding but climbed into he back seat when she became almost hysterical about it. I had a big camping flashlight with us with which I began to signal up into the sky at what did look like a flying saucer. It had no wings and it moved from side to side over the road in a gliding yet lighting quick action. I had never seen an object in the sky act like that. It also changed altitudes very freely and quickly at times hovering only 30 to 40 feet above the road. After a few minutes it seemingly disappeared. However after about 10 minutes Mary said," Michael I think it's back but this time it's over the car." As she said it the radio and headlights failed. The atmosphere in the car seemed to change. It was if everything took on a feeling of almost slow motion, like a liquifying haze intermingled with the very atmosphere within the vehicle. The next thing I remember although it is very vague and I'm not sure in what time context is seeing this same craft enter the bay by which we were traveling at the time almost sideways without disturbing the water, at least that's how it seemed.

My memories of this trip from that point on are blank except when we reached Rehobath Beach. We arrived as I recall at about 2:30 or 3:00 a.m. and were very exhausted. I decided to go up nearby houses and knock on a screen door. It was a section where a lot of kids and young adukts were up at all hours of the night and we did not want to have to sleep cramped in a car until the next day. THE FIRST PLACE I APPROACHED I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND A GUY GREETED ME BY SAYING " BRIAN WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. "MY NAME IS NOT Brian but ironically it IS a name I've always been very fond of and sometimes wished I had. I told the guy, " I'm not Brian but listen could we crash here for a few hours. The guy said he thought it would be okay and led us upstairs to an attic room saying, " This other guy who lives here will be coming back and when he does you'll have to leave. " I said " Sure thing. "

The room was really quaint and cool and I locked the door whenour host left. Just then a huge storm started to brew and the air was tinged with lightning and the sky resounded with thunder and the rain started to pound the roof. Our exhaustion lifted and we got really trurned on and made love. It was incredible. At some point I did hear a banging on the door which I vaugely remember but I told the guy. " Go away " We snuck out the next morning after I wrote a note thanking them for their hospitality and leaving a $5 bill on the table with it. I don't remember driving back to Maryland and my memories of the rest of the trip before the incident are pretty vague. About 5 years later Mary called me out of the blue ( we'd broken up but always had some kind of pyschic connection. I'd pick up the phone when she was calling me all the time. ) She was watching that Lenoard Nimoy program In Search Of and they were talking about UFO's and alien abduction ( neither of us had ever heard of the phenomenon before ). We had NEVER discussed the incident either since it took place.. She said, " Michael, are you watching IN Search Of. " I said " Yeah, I am as a matter of fact. " We briefly discussed it chatted for a few minutes then hung up.

I should add a few incidentals here. The only other UFO related event I had was a dream where in the dream I seem to be in my " grandfather's law library " in what seems like a dental chair. Several aliens come in and I am injected with a green gel like liquid. " That's all I remember. Since childhood I have had many many psychic experiences. We have an aunt on my father's side who was a well known psychic. I have had many presient dreams and some important waking imports of things to come such as premonitioons about peoples deaths and even one ( although I know it may sound grandiose in Hoboken about a year before Sept. 11th. I had a waking vision of seeing police stationed everywhere ( almost like in nazi Germany ) and a sense that a great cataclysm had taken place. It had very close to the Path Station ( about 25 yeards away ..... the Path Station at 33rd Street was destoryed when the planes hit. That was the first and only occurence of such a " political " premonition although the nature of it wasn't political just very matter of fact. I am also a self taught musician ( I had a guiding dream telling me to take up music ) and songwriter. I've self publsihed a book Radical Truth: From Dallas to Waco and Beyond ....... ( An American Conspiracy Matrix ) which is pro Constitution but sees great dangers up ahead both politically and cataclyismacally. I occasionally hear a very high pitched sound in my ear ( it's like hearing a dog whistle ) which I read somewhere is realted by some to UFO's but I wouldn't really know. I mention it only in passing. Both Mary and I became very religious after the " sighting " although it had been a component our our makeups before as well. Mary Became a Jehovah's Witness, I became ( and remain a born again Christian ).

Recently I've wriiten two UFO style songs True North ( about Admiral Byrd's excursions into the area oif the North Pole which mentions " a landing place for UFO's ) and They Came From Outer Space based on David Icke's Reptilian theories. For some reason both things came into my head. While not naturally a visual artist I have recently also drawn an account of my experience with Mary on the road and drawn ( just out of happenstance while vactioning at the Jersey shore a picture of an alien as well. I love Jesus with all my heart and I believe in angels ....... but I wonder about UFO's .... I kinda tend to believe they are possibly fallen angels appearing at the end of the age. P.S. I will be attending your seminar in New York about ransgenic beings August 20th.

Witness Background

I'm a very creative person who plays guitar, some harmonica and fools around with programed beats and writes a lot of interesting songs in my many genres inlcuing fokl - folk rock- rock- gospel - blues - country- and even recently hip hop and rap ( I've been a feautured or ( paid ) poet ( St Marks and a showcased songwriter Folk City where Dylan played. My work is often favorably compared with his. I've written five books- Radical Truth: From Dallas to Waco and Beyond .... An American Conpsiracy Matrix ), Reflections of the Soul: American Rimbaud ( Growing Up Insane in the 60's ), Revelation ( Are We Living in the Last Days ), Romantic Notions ( 31 cool poems ) and Rivers to Cross the Songs if Mike Sheehan 1975-2005 ( 140 original songs ). I have a teaching license ( and currently substitute teach ), a real estate license ( I've closed deals ), a paralegal certificate ( I've worked in the field ) and have also worked as a Newspaper reporter/photographer for a weekly, managed music, book and comic stores, been a street vender, delievry driver, landscaper etc.

Other Comments

I will be at the Transgenic Symposium on Nov 20th in New York. If for any reason I am unavailable on line I will be at the above address. I find the subject of interesting but am not fantaical about it. I just like to understand what's going on as a person, writer and artist. I've finished an intense and extrememly productive writing and recording cycle involving both books and music and now am more focused on career, marketing what I've written and perhaps exploring fiction. I am not an exploiter or a hustler I have written what I have and done my work as an artist because it is in me to do it and I enjoy it immensely. Sometimes I've been a little less than practical at pursuing things partly because I didn't want the commercial instinct to win out over my innate and genuine curiosity. But I'm not in a bad situation at all now in my life. In fact I rather like it. I'm stable, very happily married and feel like I've written some great stuff which I'm real proud of ( both books and music ). I feel optomistic, have worked out some difficult issues resulting from a difficult childhhood experience in the last five years and am looking forward to life with a lot of hope and anticipation.
